SSS-Rank Poop Shoveler Spirit-Chapter 114: "A Suicide Squad"

?? Demon realm??

Castra had never heard of this before.

[Is there a demon realm in this world? Is it dangerous if the rift opens?]

In many novels, anything related to the demons spelled bad news.

[Well, the demon realm is the same everywhere, host, but here, the rift isn't supposed to appear.]

Poo shook his head and sighed.

[I heard that the rift isn't fully opened yet, so only the miasma came out of the rift, corrupting the Elven Forest.]

But if they didn't do anything, soon, the demons or whatever it was residing inside the demon realm would come out as well.

[Is the rift opened inside the Elf Kingdom deep in the Elf territory?]

If that's the case, the corruption must have been severe, right?

[It is, host. That's why the elves are in danger, the world tree is nearly corrupted too.]

Oh, no, bad, bad news.

[But what does that have to do with us? Won't the leaders of this continent do something to help the elves?]

Castra really wanted to return to the Spirit Realm, away from all this mess.

But Poo immediately slapped Castra's head.

[Host! Why are you so unambitious?? This is the right moment for you to shine!]

[So many eyes are following the development and everyone is watching the magic orb's Livestream. Now, many spirits are rushing to go to the Elven Forest with their summoners too!]

This is an excellent way for many spirits to be promoted in one go.

Castra..Castra was shamefully seduced by the word "promotion".

[Okay, okay, we have to show off ourselves to the whole continent!]

What Castra didn't know is that, almost all spirits who were already in the Elven Forest immediately got a huge increase of fame and a little bit of faith from both summoners and non-summoners alike.

Right now, all eyes on the entire continent were indeed on the academy's students and instructors.

With the timing, they were likely the fastest one to be able to aid the elves and wait until the main reinforcement arrived.

The group marched slowly, minding their surroundings.

With the help of so many capable instructors, Mario's group finally didn't lose any more members and the whole entourage arrived at the chosen camping spot safely, albeit with many injuries.

The moment the group arrived at the open area suitable for camping, the seniors and the instructors immediately led the students to set up camps.

They didn't know for how long they would stay in the forest, but they had to do their best to survive.

Mario's group also set up their camps but then, Mario came to look for Castra, his face dark.

"Fake spirit, the others said that they want to stay at the camp."

Castra's face immediately changed.

"Huh? Uh, then, you want to return me to the spirit realm?"

After all, if they stayed at the camp, he wouldn't be useful anymore!

No, no, this won't do!

Castra immediately rubbed his hands together and winked at Mario.

"Hey, dear summoner, have you really given up on purifying your natal spirit's bloodline?"

Surely, not, right? Say no!!

Mario looked hesitant but in the end, he sighed.

"I don't want to give up, but my team members refused to continue the mission, so I think I— "

"I'll accompany you! You need to find the world tree, right? I also have something to do with the world tree!"

Castra immediately volunteered, his mind working fast.

He was sure that the elite instructors would also leave the camp to find the world tree and the elves, doing everything they could to delay the rift from opening while waiting for the reinforcement to arrive.

He had to join this group!

Mario didn't know Castra's little scheme and he immediately looked at Castra as if he's a saviour.

"Fake spirit...I misunderstood you. You're really such a good spirit!"

Mario didn't think highly of Castra but the two animal spirits tagging along were his real goal.

"Okay, let's go to the instructors and ask if we could join!"

Out of so many instructors, only ten people gathered to go check the situation, each of them had a specialized ability covering all professions.

When Mario asked one of the instructors, the female instructor looked at Mario and asked,

"Are you a summoner? What rank?"

"Uh...D— "

"No. That's too weak. You need to be at least a C-rank summoner or above."

Many of their students were D-rank summoners, senior students were even C-rank or B-rank.

What's the use of such a weak D-rank summoner?

Mario, who was already in his twenties but still just a D-rank summoner couldn't help but blush in shame.

"My natal spirit has an S-rank potential! And he's also a half-elf spirit, he has a lot of long-range skills!"

Mario tried to appeal and the female instructor paused at the word "half-elf".

"Since your natal spirit is a half-elf, you can follow us. Anything related to the elves will be useful."

Not only Mario, the elf prince was also included in the group, along with..Ray.

"Huh? Dear summoner? You also want to follow us?"

Castra glanced at Miria, Ray's natal spirit whose inside was a transmigrator and couldn't help but guess.

Could it be that he wanted to kill the transmigrator inside the elf forest?

Ray looked at Castra with his cold face and spoke curtly,

"I need something inside the elf Kingdom. I have to go and the instructors agreed."

After all, Ray...actually was already promoted to a C-rank summoner!

Mario saw another teen prodigy, just like the little girl he faced off before and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Envious! So envious!

But Mario couldn't do anything about that so he could only wait until the group was assembled, roughly 10 instructors and 10 non-instructors.

The leader of the group, the head instructor, an A-rank summoner, swiftly waved his hand as he led the group.

"Let's go! Let's cross the forest before the sun goes down!"

When the sun went down...one wouldn't know how much more dangerous the forest would become.
